I cant see P3D being a major revenue stream for LM andso I doubt they would care.

Yes...it's a fantastic addon...thanks for the info..

January 31, 20188 yr If 4.2 is "underwhelming" then IMO that's indication that LM are losing interest in P3D. Matthew S

LM probably consider P3D mature enough for their professional customers and we won't see any major improvements moving forward. Matthew S

I wouldn’t say that, on their reddit Q&A they said they are looking in the future to add terrain contoured runways, an updated internal database, possible DX12 support, and continued performance optimization in terms of cpu scaling across multiple cores.

Sloping runways would be great! I just wish they'd fix the over-scaled autogen trees and houses (even just a .ini setting to let individual user adjust the scale to their liking). But they are uninterested in realistic scaling of autogen. Such a shame the autogen scaling is so ridiculously over-sized... so I always turn my autogen off. Matthew S
January 31, 20188 yr I'm very satisfied with v4.1. It's the best FSX to date so things are definetly moving in the right direction, albeit slowly. LM don't seem intetested in making major changes to the platform, so apart from performance tweaks etc. I don't have any expectations until v5...

Also precipitation (rain) looks horrible but can be improved using 3rd party addons such as ENVTEX or PRECIPITFX. This plus the terrible slow autogen loading at your arrival airport. Eric
